At the IASC Council Meeting during ASSW2026 in Aarhus, Denmark, IASC released its 2026 Bulletin, reporting on the IASC-supported activities over the past years. In it, the five IASC Working Groups (Atmosphere, Cryosphere, Marine, Social & Human, Terrestrial) share exciting scientific highlights of their international and interdisciplinary work, and IASC leadership and Fellows share their perspectives on working with IASC.
The Bulletin also includes updates on the multi-year planning process for the Fourth International Conference on Arctic Research Planning (ICARP IV) and provides comprehensive information on the 5th International Polar Year (2032-2033).
Chapter 3 provides comprehensive information on the Fifth International Polar Year (2032-2033).
